“Hope is a practice we tend together”

Hope is here because you are here.

Every person who arrives at Omega brings their own capacity to heal, to listen, to grow, and to care. Together those capacities become something we share.

For almost 50 years, this campus has taught us something simple. Transformation happens in the small minutes. The walk to breakfast. The conversation with someone who understands you. The moment you sit in a workshop and realize you have more to give yourself than you thought.

We are living through a time of uncertainty and noise. Many of us carry responsibilities we don’t talk about. Hope can’t shield from these realities. But it can give us a way of staying human inside them. At Omega, you can move at the pace of the body. You can remember how connection feels. You can learn that being present is not fragile. It is truly so powerful.

Here, hope is a practice we tend together. Our teachers bring wisdom, joy, and heart. The natural setting of our campus creates an inspiring container for learning and connection. You bring your own inner knowing and courage. When those elements connect, something remarkable becomes possible.

As we look toward Omega’s 50th anniversary in 2027, you are helping shape the next chapter. Hope is what we carry with us as we move forward, and we invite you to define it in a way that feels true to your life.

We are so glad you are with us. Begin wherever you are. Because here, that is always more than enough.

Warmly,

Carla Goldstein President & CEO

Hope is .

Hope is personal. It can be a whisper, a shift, a question you finally have time to answer.

We’re not here to define it for you. We’re here to give you the space to connect with yourself and our vibrant community of seekers and doers, to laugh, cry, create, or be still.

Women Thriving Beyond Transitions

Reimagining Power and Possibility

CARLA GOLDSTEIN AND LESLIE SALMON JONES

Tuition $4,000 shared room/$6,000 private room

Beginner Pickleball Get Your Dink On

FRANCIS COMESANAS Tuition $390 ($350 Members) LE

This workshop takes place off-site at Hudson Valley Pickleball and Golf Center in Poughkeepsie, New York.

Pickleball, considered a combination of badminton, tennis, and ping-pong, is the fastest-growing sport in the US. In this fun-filled workshop with Francis Comesanas, you hit the courts to learn rules, scoring, different types of shots, and basic strategy.

Over the weekend, you learn the basics of:

• Rules and scoring

• Types of shots, including serves, returns, dinks, volleys, and lobs

• Useful drills and basic strategy

This workshop is appropriate for those new to the game as well as those who have started playing and are looking to hone their skills. Tuition includes access to Hudson Valley Pickleball and Golf’s top-ofthe-line indoor facility, where all workshop sessions are held.

Francis Comesanas is a certified instructor through the International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association (IPTPA) and has more than 15 years of experience competing in tournaments and teaching the sport.

You examine poems—some well-known and others lesser known—and explore the artistry behind them.

You delve beyond the how of a poem and look at the why of a poem. Why did it need to be written?

What does this poem explore about being human? What is the intuition and intelligence of this poem?

What is its hunger?

These questions open up questions in ourselves, too, questions about how we make meaning in our lives, or use art, or craft language to shape relationships or solitude.

Pádraig Ó Tuama is a poet and theologian, and host of On Being’s “Poetry Unbound.”

Awakening & Responsibility

How Meditation Leads to Effective Action

TOBY SOLA Tuition $590 ($530 Members)

Toby Sola helps you create a feedback loop between your meditation practice and your ability to make the world a better place—the more you meditate, the more effective you are in the world. And the more effective you are, the deeper your practice becomes. Start by learning to gradually extend the out-breath to last one minute. This slows your physiology, which in turn settles the mind. Then, focus on exercises that integrate mindfulness into everyday experiences such as being trustworthy in relationships, core values, and your career.

Through lectures, guided meditation, question-and-answer sessions, time in nature, and more, you leave this retreat with friendships based on shared values and growth.

Workshop begins Sunday at 7:30 p.m. and has extended evening sessions.

Toby Sola has been teaching meditation for two decades and is the founder of the Brightmind meditation app.

Beyond the Family Blueprint Transform

Family Rejection Into Sacred Purpose

NICK WERBER Tuition $405 ($365 Members)

Many who grow up as the black sheep of their family, the scapegoat, or misfit carry invisible burdens: shame, guilt, and the feeling of never belonging anywhere. This retreat offers a compassionate space to understand those experiences better and release their hold.

Through discussion, guided embodiment, parts work, and family constellations practices, we explore how family dynamics shape identity and how these painful roles can be unlearned.

By cultivating inner belonging—a way of meeting yourself with presence and compassion, and sharing space with others who get it—you transform rejection into tenderness and purpose.

This retreat is designed for anyone seeking to live beyond their family’s blueprint and come home to themselves.

Nick Werber is a writer and somatic educator helping family outsiders transform shame into inner belonging.

Freedom From Chronic Suffering— Pain,

Fatigue, Symptoms & Anxiety A Mind-Body Approach NICOLE SACHS

There is brain science behind why we are chronically symptomatic, fatigued, and anxious. Understanding the mind-body connection is key to freeing ourselves from the protective mechanism by which the brain and nervous system initiate chronic conditions.

A dysregulated nervous system mistakenly sends pain signals in a chronic “fight or flight” mode. When repressed emotions and stored trauma are allowed to surface safely, the body settles into “rest and repair,” and symptoms stop flaring.

JUNE 21–26

Guided by Nicole Sachs, discover how to invite these repressed feelings to rise, creating a mind-body transformation. Through discussion, group work, meditation, somatic embodiment, and Nicole’s signature JournalSpeak® practice, you establish a foundation for long-lasting wellness. Nicole Sachs, LCSW, is creator of JournalSpeak, a groundbreaking language of wellness. She is author of The Meaning of Truth and the online course Freedom From Chronic Pain.

Ancient Wisdom, Present Freedom Immersing in the Foundations of Mindfulness

WILL KABAT-ZINN Tuition $570 ($510 Members)

Guided by Will Kabat-Zinn, we engage in formal and informal meditation practices, including sitting meditation, walking meditation, standing and lyingdown meditations, and movement-based practices. As mindfulness gains momentum, it allows us to see with penetrating insight into the nature of our own hearts and minds, and to taste the freedom that the Buddha pointed to thousands of years ago.

We immerse ourselves in what are traditionally called the four foundations of mindfulness—mindfulness of body, feelings, mind, and the tendencies of mind that lead to suffering or liberation.

Workshop begins Sunday at 8:00 p.m.

Will Kabat-Zinn is a mindfulness and meditation teacher whose passion is to help people put into practice and experience for themselves the liberating power of mindfulness.

MELISSA HEWITT AND MIRABAI TRENT Tuition $420 ($375 Members)

In this playful and soulful workshop, we create faerie houses—enchanting homes for the invisible dwellers of the forest—using natural materials and imaginative techniques. We also craft ancestral masks and nature crowns that explore and honor the cycles of life, death, and renewal.

We spend time in the woods and fields, gathering treasures to add to our creations, opening the senses, journaling, and connecting deeply with nature, imagination, and community, all leading to a faerie-inspired procession that adds to the magic of Family Week.

Return home with a faerie house and other creations, renewed inspiration, and a deeper connection to nature and self.

Melissa Hewitt and Mirabai Trent are local New York artists and cofounders of Circle Creative Collective, bringing decades of experience in traditional craft, ritual, storytelling, and community building.

Through techniques drawn from oral storytelling, memoir writing, and performance tools—including body and voice work, breath awareness, and improvisational theater games—participants identify meaningful personal experiences, uncover the very richest parts of the story, and then shape, tell, and ultimately perform it with authenticity and confidence at a story-sharing event.

All are welcome: beginners, seasoned writers, performers, and anyone curious about the transformative power of story.

Being Human Takes Practice

A Meditation Retreat for Open-Minded Explorers & Fidgety Skeptics

JEFF WARREN Tuition $425 ($380 Members)

What does meditation teach us about being human? It teaches us about resistance and overthinking, about humor and mercy, about healing stuck emotions and expanding stuck views. All this and more happens when we sit and get quiet. It also happens when we sit and don’t get quiet.

The main teacher is meditation itself, which has a way of organizing the nervous system all on its own. We also learn from other people’s experiences, insights, and challenges.

Any experience can happen on the cushion. The goal is to return home with an understanding of why you meditate, and a clear feeling for your own strange, beautiful practice.

Jeff Warren, a journalist and meditation instructor celebrated for his accessible style of teaching, is coauthor of the New York Times best seller Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics

Join Jimmie Dale Gilmore in a workshop exploring the craft of songwriting as a vehicle for cultivating mindfulness, insight, and communication skills. And especially just for fun.

Designed for both aspiring and advanced songwriters, the class utilizes collaboration as a tool for accessing and sustaining motivation and creative inspiration.

Participants write songs in small groups, explore the process through discussions with the larger group, and perform the brand-new songs at a campus concert. Each evening, there will be a song circle where individual songwriters are invited to share a song with the group.

All are welcome to attend. It is not a prerequisite to play an instrument or to sing.

Jimmie Dale Gilmore is a Grammy-nominated musician whose resonant music blends his interest in spirituality.

Tuition $375 ($335 Members) LE

If time permits, we hear some songs without class comment. (Originals only, please.) Those presenting a song for feedback are asked to bring printed copies of the lyrics.

Prerequisite: Admission to this workshop is limited to people who have studied previously with Jimmie Dale, with no exceptions.

Awakening Meditations

RIC WEINMAN

Tuition $345 ($310 Members)

Guided by Ric Weinman, work with meditations intended to bring you deeper into the core of your own being and help you shed layers of egoic identity. These kinds of meditations are not designed for relaxation, but rather to help you move through the construct of what you have experienced and identified as “self” and awaken into a deeper reality.

Facilitating awakening requires more than sharing awakening concepts and leading guided meditations. True facilitation also involves actively and directly bridging others into the awake space residing within themselves—the space where “I” disappears into something vaster and beyond the mind.

Ric Weinman, who has been facilitating awakening for more than 20 years, is the founder of VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing and the author of several books, including Awakening Through the Veils

Mary Magdalene Revealed

MEGGAN WATTERSON

Tuition $435 ($390 Members)

The Gospel of Mary reveals a transformational power that exists within all of us. Her gospel and other banned scripture challenged the patriarchal structure of power in the first century.

To find this transformational power, all we need to do is turn inward, says Meggan Watterson—to be still and acquire a form of spiritual perception Mary’s gospel refers to as “the eye of the heart.” This allows us to see past the ego of our own lives to what’s more real, lasting, infinite, and already here, within.

Through lecture, lively discussion, and practice of the soul-voice meditation, we discover the secret teachings Christ gave to Mary and why they’re radical, even for today.

Healing the Story of Separation

CHARLES EISENSTEIN Tuition $125 ($110 Members)

The mythology of civilization is changing from a story of separation to one of interconnection, interdependence, and interbeing, says Charles Eisenstein. The stories we tell are not just stories— they are a way of seeing and thinking.

Explore how personal and collective narratives shape perception, identity, and relationship. Through lectures, meditations, and more, you learn to recognize the unconscious stories of separation that influence your life and begin to inhabit stories of interconnection.

This Omega retreat fee is $125. Charles does not receive payment from Omega for this retreat. Instead, he invites participants to self-determine their tuition and contribute directly to him during the event. More details will be made available at the retreat.

The Way of Awareness

An Immersion Experience in Mindfulness & Heartfulness

WILL KABAT-ZINN AND JON KABAT-ZINN Tuition $595 ($535 Members) LE

Mindfulness is often spoken of as “the heart of Buddhist meditation.” However, its essence is universal. As Nyanaponika Thera put it, mindfulness is “the unfailing master key for knowing the mind, and is thus the starting point; the perfect tool for shaping [our relationship to] the mind, and is thus the local point; the lofty manifestation of the achieved freedom of the mind, and is thus the culminating point.”

Mindfulness has everything to do with open-hearted attention to the unfolding of experience as it is. In most Asian languages, the word for “mind” and the word for “heart” are the same. Therefore, we can understand mindfulness better if we simultaneously hear it as heartfulness and cultivate it in that way. During this retreat, we cultivate intimacy with our own experience, letting life itself become the curriculum.

We engage formal and informal practices, including the body scan, guided movement, and sitting and walking meditations. The applications of mindfulness in the face of the full catastrophe of the human condition, including stress, pain, illness, and our implicit biases are emergent themes.

Workshop begins Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

Will Kabat-Zinn is a mindfulness and meditation teacher whose passion is to help people wake up to their own deepest nature.

Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, is founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and the MBSR Clinic at University of Massachusetts Medical School.

This workshop benefits professionals who work in service-based fields, yet all are welcome to attend.

Trul Khor Tibetan Yoga Magical Movements of Body, Breath & Mind

ALEJANDRO CHAOUL Tuition $525 ($470 Members)

The distinctive Tibetan practice of yoga known as Trul Khor, or magical movement, incorporates breath practices, awareness, and physical movements.

Trul Khor is “a wonderful support for all spiritual practitioners, not just for those with an interest in physical yogas,” says Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.

During this workshop, we focus on how these “magical movements” support body-mind-spirit health. By harmonizing the vital breath (lung, prana, or chi) and guiding its flow through physical and energetic dimensions, Trul Khor can aid in clearing long-held blocks in the practitioner’s body, energy, and mind, supporting the spontaneous arising of awareness during formal meditation and in everyday life.

Beginning and experienced students of yoga are welcome.

Memoir as Bewilderment

NICK FLYNN Tuition $410 ($365 Members)

When approaching the idea of writing a memoir, says Nick Flynn, we often write what we believe is our unique autobiography— but as we press on, we discover that our story is connected to everyone’s story, and only then can we access the deeper mysteries of life.

Under Nick’s guidance, we look for moments when we begin to stutter when talking about our projects. We push more deeply into the shadows of our misremembered past. We then wrestle with these deeper mysteries and the concept of bewilderment and how we can embody both.

Push deeper into this shadow world with Nick, and be open to question why you tell particular stories.

JumpStart Your Memoir Write It From the Heart

NANCY SLONIM ARONIE

Tuition $460/410/310 ($365 Members)

Jump-Start Your Memoir is an inspiring immersion for the beginning writer and nurturing for the burnedout professional. It is about honoring your own voice in a safe place.

Nancy Slonim Aronie says, “I can’t teach writing. I don’t think anyone can. But I can make it safe and I’ve learned when people feel safe, they go deep. The writing gets more powerful, the heart goes deeper, and the words flow faster. Getting the story of your life out of your body means you don’t have to carry the weight of it around anymore.”

Dive into writing and discover your own rhythms, use your own language, and tell your own story.

Nancy Slonim Aronie, author of Writing From the Heart, is a distinguished writer and founder of the Chilmark Writing Workshop on Martha’s Vineyard.

Accessing the Genius Within

Cortical Field Re-Education

Tuition $975 ($875 Members) LE

How we sit, stand, move, and respond to our inner and outer world reflects deeply ingrained patterns wired into our nervous systems. It reflects our early solutions to physical survival in our family system. These strategies and beliefs can still run our adult lives and prevent physical ease and emotional healing.

Using Cortical Field Re-Education® (CFR), we slowly explore and sense small movements that bring these hidden patterns into awareness. When our wise “genius” nervous system becomes aware of a habit that is no longer useful, it extinguishes it. A greater experience of self-trust and self-worth is uncovered.

Return home equipped with simple, effective tools for continued self-healing.

Creative Grief Tending Moving Grief Through the Body

BARRI LEINER GRANT AND KELSEY MORO

Tuition $505 ($455 Members)

Grief lives in the body—and sometimes words only arrive after we’ve paused to feel where it aches, pulses, or softens. In this gathering, you are guided through gentle movement, breathing techniques, meditation, and reflective writing prompts to help you access both embodied awareness and creative expression.

Together, we ground in the body, write from the heart, and tend to what is asking to be witnessed. This is not about fixing grief, but about befriending it— allowing space for release, reflection, and renewal.

This is for grievers who are at least six months from their most significant loss and who are looking to process their grief through a creatively expressive lens.

Barri Leiner Grant is a grief specialist, writer, and educator who is founder of The Memory Circle, a community for those learning to live with loss.

Alchemy & the Power of Plants

The Star Inside

ELIZA SWANN

Tuition $470 ($425 Members)

Examine the mystical, energetic, and medicinal properties of plants through the lens of alchemical philosophy, with special attention to the teachings of Paracelsus, whose insights into the spiritual and cosmological nature of plants continue to shape modern esoteric and herbal practices.

We cover core concepts in alchemical botany, such as the doctrine of signatures, planetary rulerships, and the idea of nature as a mirror of the cosmos. Plants are approached as carriers of both physical and subtle forces, inviting intuitive, embodied relationships with the natural world.

Through sensory observation, guided plant explorations, and hands-on medicine-making practice—including harvesting, preparation, and distillation—you gain both theoretical and experiential insight into alchemical healing.

Hope is the Impact we have on the world

Omega was founded on a simple belief: When people learn, heal, and connect in community, the world changes. For nearly 50 years, that belief has shaped everything we do.

We help people imagine new possibilities for themselves and the world around them by creating conditions that make real change possible. Omega’s land, food, shared spaces, and people form a living classroom—where immersive, relational learning reflects the understanding that meaningful change begins with how we gather and how we care for one another.

These efforts are woven into campus life. You feel them when you walk the trails, share a meal, or sit beside someone whose path may be nothing like your own. Hope becomes something lived and practiced that extends beyond our campus into the world.

Our work is rooted in:

Curiosity over certainty

Practice over perfection

Belonging over individualism

Care over urgency

Conservation over consumption

Every program, conversation, and inspiring moment on campus is guided by our mission to awaken the best in the human spirit.

When you join us, you become part of that mission.

Thank you for being here for us. You are a light in a world that could use more brightness

:) ”

Christopher P., Omega Member “

Everything at Omega is sustained by the people who believe in what happens here. When you support Omega, you nurture hope. You extend access, care for the land, foster curiosity and healing, and ensure this place remains a home for learning and connection.

Your support fuels:

Environmental Stewardship — tending to the land and investing in regenerative systems

Members enjoy benefits and discounts throughout the year, as well as special opportunities to gather with others who love Omega. (Check out our Spring and Fall Members Retreats on pages 13 and 105.)

We hope you’ll join us.

I support Omega because

Making Transformation Accessible

At Omega, we believe that learning and discovery are powerful agents of change— and they should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer scholarships and tiered pricing, bringing our mission to life, and building an inclusive learning community.

Scholarships

You’ll find full and partial scholarships for programs with some of our top teachers. For the most up-to-date information on scholarship opportunities, eligibility criteria, and links to applications, visit eOmega.org/scholarships or call 800.944.1001.

Tiered Pricing

Omega offers sliding-scale tuition for programs as part of our mission to offer accessible, holistic learning and build an inclusive, dynamic community. Look for the tiered pricing icon on select programs that indicates you can choose a rate that suits your ability to pay.

Onward.

What we share here ripples outward. Every conversation, every aha moment, every act of care travels outward into families, communities, and the world we share.
